The classic drive-in restaurant was a huge hit in the 1950s and 60s. Being able to just park your car and not even have to get out was great. Today the only ones left are usually part of a single fast food chain, but there are a few real, old drive-ins out there that have managed to survive this long. North Dakota has one specific spot that continues to be popular – and there’s a good reason for that. Along with the nostalgia you get from going here, everyone goes crazy over their burgers.
Pull up to this place and try one for yourself!

This classic spot draws in tons of people not only for the nostalgia of being at a drive-in, but also because their burgers are by far some of the best in the state.

Beyond the burgers, they have a full menu loaded with items. Their sides include all the classics but the fries are the best to pair with their burgers. These addicting fries come in a round cup that is made to fit in your car’s cupholder. They’re awesome!

The kids meals come in the cutest car boxes that can fit their sandwich and side, giving them the name of kids classic cruisers.
